Topic: Hamel basis


  
  Orthonormal basis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, an orthonormal basis of an inner product space V (i.e., a vector space with an inner product), or in particular of a Hilbert space H, is a set of elements whose span is dense in the space, in which the elements are mutually orthogonal and normal, that is, of magnitude 1.
An orthogonal basis satisfies the same conditions, without the condition of length 1; it is easy to change the vectors in an orthogonal basis by scalar multiples to get an orthonormal basis, and indeed this is a typical way that an orthonormal basis is constructed, via an orthogonal basis.
An orthonormal basis is not generally a "basis", i.e., it is not generally possible to write every member of the space as a linear combination of finitely many members of an orthonormal basis.

 Basis (linear algebra) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The phrase Hamel basis is sometimes used to refer to a basis as defined above, in which the fact that all linear combinations are finite is crucial.
What is called an orthonormal basis is a set of mutually orthogonal unit vectors that "span" the space via sometimes-infinite linear combinations.
An orthonormal basis of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is therefore not a Hamel basis.

Every Hamel basis of this space is much bigger than this merely countably infinite set of functions.
Hamel bases of spaces of this kind are of little if any interest; orthonormal bases of these spaces are important to Fourier analysis.

 Station Information - Hamel dimension
It is sometimes called Hamel dimension when it is necessary to distinguish it from other types of dimension.
Every basis of a vector space has equal cardinality and so the Hamel dimension of a vector space is uniquely defined.
However, the Hamel dimension depends on the base field, so while R has dimension 1 when considered as a vector space over itself, it has dimension c (the cardinality of the continuum) when considered as a vector space over Q (the rationals).

For vector spaces, there is a natural concept of dimension, namely the cardinality of a basis.
This dimension is finite if and only if the space's Hamel dimension is finite, and in this case the two dimensions coincide.
The Krull dimension of a commutative ring, named after Wolfgang Krull (1899 - 1971), is defined to be the maximal number of strict inclusions in an increasing chain of prime ideals in the ring.

In an infinte-dimensional Hilbert space, a set of vectors orthogonal to each other can never span the whole space via finite linear combinations, but what is called an orthonormal basis is a set of mutually orthogonal unit vectors that "span" the space via sometimes-infinite linear combinations.
To better distinguish these notions, vector space bases are also called Hamel bases and the vector space dimension is also known as Hamel dimension.

In that context, the "usual" basis is called a Hamel basis: it is a collection of vectors {v_i}, i in some index set, such that every vector in the space can be written uniquely as a linear combination of some finite set of v_i's.
For a Schauder basis, on the other hand, you allow an infinite "linear combination", where the infinite sum is understood as an infinite series, converging in the norm topology of the Banach space.
Hamel bases always exist, but can't be constructed without the Axiom of Choice.

 Hilbert space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One goal of Fourier analysis is to write a given function as a (possibly infinite) sum of multiples of given base functions.
This problem can be studied abstractly in Hilbert spaces: every Hilbert space has an orthonormal basis, and every element of the Hilbert space can be written in a unique way as a sum of multiples of these base elements.
Note that in the infinite-dimensional case, an orthonormal basis will not be a basis in the sense of linear algebra; to distinguish the two, the latter basis is also called a Hamel basis.

If B is an orthonormal basis of H, then every element x of H may be written as
Using Zorn's lemma, one can show that every Hilbert space admits an orthonormal basis; furthermore, any two orthonormal bases of the same space have the same cardinality.

A basis of a vector space is sometimes called a Hamel basis in order to distinguish it from the concept of an orthonormal basis of a Hilbert space and some other kinds of bases that occur in Banach spaces.
An orthonormal basis of a Hilbert space H is an orthonormal set of members of H such that any member of the H can be written as a linear combination of a possibly infinite set of members of the orthonormal basis.

Thus objects that are proved to exist using the axiom of choice cannot generally be described by any kind of systematic rule, for if they could it would not be necessary to their construction.
Strange objects that can be constructed using the axiom of choice include non-measurable sets (leading to the Hausdorff and Banach-Tarski paradoxa), and Hamel bases for any vector space.
Since in fact the existence of a basis for every vector space is equivalent to the axiom of choice, it is almost guaranteed that no such set
